Deep Dive into Indigenous Innovation 2024
Event description
Welcome to #TIF2024
The Deep Dive into Indigenous Innovation is designed to celebrate and advance Indigenous Innovation. The program has been curated following feedback and input from the participants in the 2024 FNQ Indigenous Innovation roundtables, facilitated by the Indigenous Innovation Facilitator, Marc Harbrow and Destiny Dewis.
The day-long event brings together established and emerging Indigenous Innovators and Entrepreneurs to share, connect and collaborate on what it takes to operate, survive and thrive. We dive deep into learning about what’s out there in the Indigenous Business space, who is making progress and what more can be done.
This event is suitable for Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesspeople and leaders who are interested in learning from expert First Nations people in the innovation and entrepreneurship space.
